Did you know that most respiratory hazards are too small to be visible? Did you know that respirators can actually pose a risk to some workers with certain physiological or medical conditions? Many work-environments and activities necessitate the use of respiratory protection to protect workers from health hazards. Under these circumstances, OSHA requires employers to properly implement a respiratory protection program, including the selection of proper respirators, medical evaluations, fit-testing, and training. This workshop is designed to provide attendees with the knowledge to properly develop and implement a respiratory protection program. Topics include:

• Respiratory health hazards
• Types and performance of various types of respirators
• OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134)
• Medical evaluations
• Fit-testing and seal-checks (incl. hands-on qualitative fit-testing)
• Proper use, maintenance, storage, and disposal requirements
• Training requirements

NOTE: The Minnesota Safety Council recommends this training for all personnel who perform fit-testing for respiratory protection.
